Cracked cook top glass

Hi glors732,m

A chip perhaps, but not a crack, you will need to replace the whole glass panel. Will be quite expensive though.

Kind Regards

The glass tops can certainly be replaced. The following link explains step-by-step how to replace one:

This is not a difficult repair, but it can be tedious. If you need assistance with locating a replacement, please post back with a complete model number, so that I may be able to provide you with better assistance. I hope you find this information helpful.

A small crack, turns into a big crack, Short of ordering a new piece of glass, there is no "fix" sorry. YOu can continue to use it, but eventually it will run across the cook top, and then shatter the glass... Better be safe than sorry.

darn! It is smortimes cheaper to buy a new range. A replacement top runs $800-1500. Good luck

using a cracked cooktop is highly dangerous. i have seen these cooktops shatter because of people using them with a crack. One shattered so bad that the glass was found all over the kitchen and the ajoining living room.

Please dont use it, for your safety, repair or replaced the unit

First of all, if the cook-top broke as a result of a manufacturer defect, the repairs should be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. In this case, the repairs would be done at no cost to you. If, however, the glass top was broken as a result of the consumer, the repair will not be covered (even if it is still under warranty). If this is the case, it does not require an engineer to replace a glass cook-top. It can be time consuming, though. If you are somewhat savvy with fixing things, it can be accomplished by the average do-it-yourselfer. The following link explains how to replace most glass cooktops:

The tedious part of replacing the cook-top is carefully removing and handling each burner element. These are usually ceramic and are very fragile. You must be handled with care. If there is no common disconnect, you also will be required to unplug each burner assembly one at a time and label the wires. A digital camera can come in very handy for this as well. The easiest way to do this is to remove the old shattered cook-top, first and lay it side by side with the new one. Remove and install one burner element at a time.

If you wish to pursue this and require additional assistance, please let me know before you rate the solution. I hope this helps you.

replace the glass. it may be expensive but usually fairly easy

Not that I know of, you can still use unless it crosses (the crack) one of the elements. That is a high dollar part, hope you can live with it.

I not know of any means of repairing same (maybe the system used to fuse auto glass) but if you want to replace it try repairclinic.com Item 935927 or 948440 $216/$227

The top can not be repaired. The glass must be replaced . DO NOT USE IT CRACKED!!!!!!!!!!!! This is very dangerous as it can explode from the temperature. Also this is a severe electrical danger as glass top units have exposed elements underneath. Any liquid at all can short it out and cause a fire. I don't know if it is worth repairing. I don't have the exact price for your cooktop but last one I priced was between $350 - $500.
